Football

By Muk

Tyrann Mathieu was moved off of the Cardinals PUP list Tuesday afternoon, and that officially marked his return to pro football. Few players in the NFL can affect and take over a game the way Mathieu can, and he will look to pick up where he left off last year before his ACL tear. Many believed Mathieu was the favorite for the DPOY award last season up until his injury, and I have him as my pre-season favorite to win the award, as he is surrounded by studs on that Card's D, with Patrick Peterson as one of the top cover corners in the league, along with them adding star Chandler Jones from the Patriots. Mathieu has successfully out ran the dark cloud that followed him throughout his college days at LSU, where he fell from the top of the sports world as a Heisman Trophy finalist, to being suspended and kicked out of the university for repeated failed drug tests. A once first round lock in the draft, he found himself begging teams to take a chance on him, and that team who finally did in the third round, was the Arizona Cardinals, and they have not regretted a single second of it. A playmaker in every sense of the word, Tyrann can change a game in an instant with his ball hawk saftey skills, and his fumble forcing tackles. Watching him play is a true joy, and I cannot wait to see what the Honey Badger has in store for us this season. #SavageSzn is in full affect in Arizona.
